Mitzy- I have always had a weird cycle and the DR's answers were go on the pill to regulate me... Which i tried but still i would skip periods. After a while of changing we found one that helped and i ended up falling preg with my DS on the pill... wasnt until 15 months after having him that we found out that it wasnt so easy to fall preg again... we tried for 6 months and nothing so i went to the GP and had an US and found out i had PCOS. By the time all this had happened my son was 2. they toldme diet and excercise to loose weight ( i am overweight and they said it was common for PCOS sufferes to carry extra weight round the middle) After another 6 months of that i went back to see what they could do. We did bloods and found out that i wasnt producing any progesterone so therefor my body wasnt releasing eggs. I had a short dose of some progesterone pills (to make me get AF) after the few days of taking them i had small amount of AF and then nothing (like 1 day) 7 we thought it hadnt worked and were supposed to go back in a months time.
Well i got sick and it lasted 2 weeks... throwing up couldnt keep anything down. went in did tests could find out why i was throwing up... get to hosy they check few things finally decide well check for pregnancy even though it wasnt likey and YEP i was... 7 weeks...
I think u need to find a food doctor OB to help u then get u refered onto a FS. Dont be affraid to get 2nd oppinions or advice. The GP who diagnosed me told me i would never have kids naturally and wouldnt have much hope with other methods... I spent weeks in tears and though nope i'll get a 2nd oppinion and thankfully we did
Congrats dressagequeen, and thanks for the support. It is so nice to hear stories like this. Heygoodlooking... sounds like you had a rough morning sickness time!
I am so glad I got a decent GP, it was the same for me when I went to the Dr years and years ago....oh we will put you on OCP, it was hiding the problem, not fixing any of it. I have done my best, quit smoking, lost about 20-25kg, a lot healthier so I hope all goes ok.
Mitzy, my cycles were all over the place and after 5 months I saw a gyn about irregular cycles and the face that it looked like i hadn't even ovulated. The Gyn was wonderful put me on clomid straight away! I call it my miracle drug, as I am currently 15 weeks pregnant. Don't take no for an answer, see another doc/specialist if they aren't helpful. All the best, and let us know how you go.
